ESKOM Tugela (0-4-0) |
| Description: |
Colenso power station was built by the South African Railways in the 1920s to supply power to the electrified Glencoe to Pietermaritzburg section of the Natal mainline. The power station was sold to the Electricity Supply Commission (Eskom) in 1927. In 1935 the power station acquired the Tugela, a 0-4-0 fireless steam locomotive, for use as shunter. Instead of a boiler, this locomotive type has a large insulated pressure vessel to hold steam under pressure, suitable for yard work at sites where large steam generating plants are available to recharge the pressure vessel. Tugela was built by R. & W. Hawthorn Leslie and Company and served at Colenso power station until it was closed in 1984. |

SAR Harbour locomotive Stormberg (0-4-0ST) |
| Description: |
Two 0-4-0ST saddle-tank locomotives that were originally built for the Irrigation Department of the Public Works Department of the Cape Colony in 1903, were acquired by the South African Railways in 1916 for use as harbour shunters. In railway service they were named instead of being classified and numbered. The first was named Thebus, after the town Teebus on the line between Stormberg and Rosmead in the Cape Midlands, while the second was named Stormberg after the town of that name on the mainline from Bloemfontein via Springfontein to East London.

NZASM 14 Tonner 1 (0-4-0) |
| Description: |
On 18 July 1889 five 14 Tonner 0-4-0T tank steam locomotives were placed in service by the Nederlandsche-Zuid-Afrikaansche Spoorwegmaatschappij (NZASM) in the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek. These first locomotives to enter service on the NZASM, numbered in the range from 1 to 5, were built by the Maschinenfabrik Esslingen in Germany. Erected at Elandsfontein (now Germiston), they were put to work between there and Boksburg. Their small coal and water carrying capacity limited their radius of operation but even so, by the time No. 1 was retired in December 1903, it had covered 113,309 miles.
A Wikipedia article on this locomotive has still to be written. |
